DIED
At her residence in Allamakee county, Iowa on the 7th of Feb., Mrs. ISABELLA
wife of Moses A. Ross, Esq. Her disease was Paralysis, which accomplished its
work in a few hours. Sister Ross was a member of the C. P. Church, having united
with us at Masontown, some twenty years ago, and although, soon after her connection
with the Church she removed to the far west, and thus by the force of circumstances,
was separated from the companionship of those whom she loved, yet as we are informed
by the dear friend who communicates the information of her death. She lived
an humble and devoted Christian, earnestly and eagerly awaiting for the Lords
appointed time , that she might depart and be with Christ, thus saying to her
aged and bereaved companion, to her sorrowing sons and daughters, together with
the many acquaintances and friends she leaves behind; "Sorrow not as these
who have no hope." But remember that while "the wicked are driven away
in their wickedness the Righteous have hope in their death." A.G.O.

DEATHS
RUSH— On Friday evening, April 7th, 1865, JACOB IGNATIUS son of Alexander and Martha Rush, aged 4 years.
They have laid him in his narrow bed,
And now his is numbered with the dead.
Father and mother he has left to mourn,
Their absent Jacob’s long return.
It is not the tears at this moment shed,
When the cold sod has been laid o’er him.
That can tell how beloved was the child that’s fled.
Or how deep is our sorrow for him. Com.

She bore her sufferings with christian fortitude, having, years since professed
to have found peace in believing in Jesus Christ as her Savior. She was
a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and by an upright walk and conversation,
endeared herself to all who came within her influence. She gave her parents
and friends much good advice, made known her wishes in regard to her children,

MYSTERY OF A TRAGEDY.
Italian Woman at Nellie Mines Shot a Negro After
SHE WAS FATALLY WOUNDED.
Colored Man Had Entered Her home with Intention of Robbery.
MAY HAVE GOT THE WRONG MAN.
Both Have Since Died From Their Wounds at the
Cottage State Hospital Here.
William Templeton, colored, died at the Cottage State Hospital, Tuesday afternoon at 1:30 o’clock and Mrs. Antonio Russo at 2:45 o’clock yesterday morning, as a result of wounds received in a mysterious shooting at Nellie coke works near Vanderbilt early Monday morning. The affair has three explanations, two of which are plausible. Shortly after 5 o’clock Monday morning a colored man attempted to enter the Russo home for the ostensible purpose of robbery, Antonio Russo having left for his work on the coke yards at 5 o’clock. Mrs. Russo refused to admit the man, who became angry and after firing several shots at the windows, forced the door. He then shot the woman, who grappled with him and forced him from the house, barring the door after him. The man again forced the door, and Mrs. Russo, who was becoming weak, took up a double barreled shot gun and said to him, “You have killed me and now you have come back to kill my children.” The man was near the door and although the woman was very weak she raised the gun slowly and discharged both barrels. William Templeton was found about two hundred yards from the house an hour after the shooting. He was brought to the hospital and never regained consciousness, his forehead having been battered open by a load of shot. The mystery now rests upon how Templeton was shot. Mrs. Russo shot at her supposed murderer, whom circumstances tend to prove was not Templeton. The colored man was about 19 years of age, well behaved and industrious at 5 every morning on his way to work. His dinner bucket was found near the house after the shooting and when he was found he did not have a revolver in his possession nor could one be found in the vicinity. This would lead to the supposition that Templeton had heard the shots while going to his work and had gone to the house to learn the cause. As he reached the door, Mrs. Russo thinking he was her assailant, fired, inflicting the wound which resulted in his death. That same morning two negroes had committed two robberies in the vicinity of Nellie and it is supposed that one of these entered the Russo home and killed the woman. The killing of Templeton has been placed by some upon several Italians who went upon a manhunt when they learned of the affair but this explanation has been proved false by an investigation.
